Chapter 679 An Act

Christina whispered something in Victoria’s car, and the latter immediately flashed an evil grin.

“Playing the role of the antagonist? That’s right up my alley! Christina, watch out for my performance tomorrow. I promise it’ll meet your satisfaction!” Victoria proclaimed, patting her chest with unwavering confidence. “I’ll make sure justice is served on your behalf!”

Christina pursed her lips into a tight smile. “It’s getting late, so you should go to bed. We have a tough battle to fight tomorrow.”

Victoria climbed out of bed and said mysteriously, “Christina, feel free to get some rest. I have an important matter to attend to, so I’ll step out to make a phone call.”

Christina knew who she wanted to call. “Sure, go ahead. Don’t talk too long, though.”

Victoria’s cheeks turned pink as she spun on her heels to leave the room.

The following morning, as Christina and Victoria prepared to make their way to the restaurant for breakfast, Nathaniel arranged for Sebastian to deliver their morning meal instead.

“Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Hadley consumed too much alcohol last night and is feeling unwell today. As a result, he is unable to personally join you this morning. Nonetheless, he insisted that I bring breakfast to you,” Sebastian said, deliberately mentioning Nathaniel’s name. Unfortunately, his words had an unintended consequence, stirring a reaction opposite to what he had hoped for.

Christina replied coldly, “Mr. Taggart, why don’t you tell that to Ms. Ludwig? You shouldn’t have come to me. Perhaps he’s more than willing to allow Ms. Ludwig to take care of him.”

Her eyes drifted past Sebastian, focusing on the trays being held by the two servers behind him. “Take those away. I have no use for his guilt and attempts at making amends. Victoria, let’s go.”

If she were to accept Nathaniel’s apology, they wouldn’t be able to execute their upcoming plan.

Victoria let out an icy snort. “Regret won’t undo his actions now. Merely delivering breakfast won’t magically earn Christina’s forgiveness. If he’s feeling unwell, he should see the doctor. Christina won’t sympathize with him! He probably had a grand time with that vixen last night, and now he’s reaping what he sowed. He deserves every bit of it!”
